Looking for a company private session?
Since starting my ERCES installation training classes, dozens of companies have reached out to request specialized training for their installers and technicians. Does your company have a crew of technicians that would benefit from a hands-on training class focused on ERCES installation best practices? I'm happy to offer private training sessions to address the specific needs of your company. Additionally, I am also available to collaborate with Authorities Having Jurisdiction and radio system administrators and licensees to consult on best practices for inspections and testing, which can aid in preparing for NICET IB-PSC certification.
